Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of ‘Today’ show host Savannah Guthrie, vanished on February 1 from her secluded Tucson, Arizona, home in the dead of night. The saga has become a waking nightmare for Guthrie’s family, with her daughter making a series of increasingly heartbreaking pleas for her mother’s abductors to ‘do the right thing’ and bring the Guthrie matriarch home.
Investigation Update
Despite an extensive investigation – and assistance from community members – authorities appear no closer to publicly identifying a leading theory or motive behind Guthrie’s abduction. Investigators say they are still working to piece together the fragmented puzzle of evidence they’ve gathered.
From chilling surveillance footage to DNA and a collection of gloves, here’s a look at what we know about the evidence in the investigation: In the early days of the investigation, multiple media outlets received notes from people claiming to be Guthrie’s captors. While authorities did not initially say whether the letters were authentic, investigators insisted they were taking them seriously.
A glove found about two miles from the house appeared to visually match the ones worn by the suspect, according to the FBI. Authorities took DNA samples from the glove and ran it through the national database known as CODIS, which compares a DNA sample against the profiles of more than 19 million known offenders. But it did not return any matches.
